P6 term 2 Newsletter
Term 1- Writing
This term we have been learning about persuasive writing.
We have been focussing on how to write an opening paragraph with a strong opening statement, supporting paragraphs with lots of evidence to back up our arguments and a conclusion to sum up our thoughts.
The children chose a topic to write about which they felt strongly about. Some examples were banning homework, every child should have a dog as a pet and mobile phones are essential/ should be banned!
